Pampeana No. 2 for cello and piano by Alberto Ginastera
Alberto Ginastera (1916-1983) was an Argentine classical composer and one of the most important South American composers of the 20th century. He was a student of Copland and a teacher of Piazzolla. Many of his works, like his Pampeanas, unite modernism with evocations of Argentine life.
"Pampeana" refers to the low-lying plains of Argentina; as such, his rhapsodic Pampeana No. 2 for cello and piano, Op.21 (1950) evokes the life of Argentine gauchos (cowboys and horseman) who work the land. This fiery, vivid work is suitable for the advanced player.
